Cheap Smell-alikes - Cheaper alternatives to Expensive Perfumes

Just had an email from perfume parlour if you like them on facebook you get a 10% off code off your order- I could do with some more of the Lolita Lempika it is gorgeous.

I recently got Vera Wang, Still (J-Lo) and Burberry Touch, none of which I had smelled before but I spend a lot of time here>>>http://www.fragrantica.com/ looking at reviews and what I'm smelling in the oils is exactly as the reviewers describe, so I know PP is doing a great job. Vera Wang is a clean, soapy scent, J-Lo is delicious, like Earl Grey tea, and Touch is soft, light and really pretty, all lovely for spring, along with the oils I'm already using for spring which are VW Princess, Kenzo Flower, Miss Dior Cherie, 212 Sexy, Cabotine, SJP Lovely and CK Escape.
I just ordered Miami Glow, RL Blue, Ed Hardy Love & Luck, Extravagance d'Amarige all based on Fragrantica reviews and Armani Diamonds which I am familiar with. These will be added to my Summer fragrance wardrobe which already includes PP's versions of CK One, Eternity, Issey Miyake, Boss Orange and Burberry Beat.

:eek: That is quite a lot isn't it? And thats not even mentioning the Autumn/Winter collection that I have My perfumes in total, PP and genuine actually number 91 at present.

Lolita Lempicka is amazing, and as usual spot on for the real thing. I have this also

thanks sofababe, i have some that you have ordered, including vera wang, lolita lempicka, miss dior cherie, i have another 14 i would like to try, but i think that may be a bit extravagant (also found these through fragrantia, which i spend huge amounts of time on). will have to narrow it down a bit, methinks.

Has anyone else had problems with their eternity oil? I'm wearing it today but the smell is so weak I think i'll need to reapply. Not used to that from the oils :eek:

Some of the oils really don't last and only top notes resemble like original. This is usually true for aquatic and citrus fragrances.

Would like to say a massive thanks to everyone on this thread, have taken the plunge and orderd 10 perfume oils using the 10% code. Work out at £1.71 each, so even if I dont like them all, wont be too worried If I dont use it.

Kenzo Flower type is amazing and spot on the original. very pleased!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the contributions to this thread. It's been a joy to read.

Thanks to the thread I've made 2 orders from PP and been thrilled with everything I've got. I love Flowerbomb and Alien as well VW Princess and JPG - spot on. I also love Sicily and Channel No. 5.

I love how I can still smell my oils hours after I've applied them and my bathrobe smells gorgeous. I haven't tried the sprays yet, so my question is do the sprays give you more a 'waft' of fragrance than the oils? You know when you can smell the perfume as you pass someone?
